100
A community of living organisms interacting with one another and with the nonliving components of the environment
What is an ecosystem?
100
The type of consumer that feed on the producers or their seeds. Herbivores and frugivorous (fruit eating)
What is a primary consumer?
100
Flows through a ecosystem and green plants get it from the Sun.
What is energy?
100
An event that damages an ecosystem.
What is a disturbance?
100
The resources available for development in the Earth’s ecosystems.
What is the ecological carrying capacity?
200
The feeding connections among the living organisms in an ecosystem
What is a food chain?
200
Eat from more than one level. They eat plants and animals. Bears and humans are good examples.
What is an omnivore?
200
Energy is lost in this form.
What is thermal energy or heat?
200
Triggered by environmental phenomena. They can affect the ecosystem to varying degrees depending on their severity. Storms, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, droughts, floods, periods of frost and heat waves all vary in severity
What is a natural disturbance?
200
This is the study of the ecological consequences of polluting the environment with various substances and radiation, released by human activity
What is ecotoxicology?
300
Can transform inorganic matter into organic matter. Most use sunlight as their energy source.
What are producers?
300
Feed on the waste and remains of other organisms. Give me both names for twice the points!!!
What is a decomposer or a detrivore?
300
The total mass of all organic matter in an ecosystem
What is biomass?
300
The main source of environmental disturbance of Earth
What are humans?
300
Any type of substance or radiation that is likely to cause harm to one or more ecosystem
What is a contaminant?
400
Producers are also called this name.
What is an autotroph?
400
The three main inorganic substances that plants need.
What is N-P-K?
400
The amount of new biomass generated by the ecosystems producers. It determines the productivity of the entire ecosystem
What is primary productivity?
400
This is the series of changes that occur in an ecosystem after a disturbance and that continues until the balance of the ecosystem is restored
What is ecological succession?
400
The toxicity of each contaminant depends on these three factors.
What is concentration, the type of organism it comes in contact with and the length of the exposure?
500
Cannot produce their own food so must eat other organisms . Humans and Ranger are classified as one of these organisms.
What is a heterotroph?
500
The process wheredDecomposers break the dead organic matter into inorganic matter that plants need.
What is chemical recycling?
500
The four factors that influence primary productivity
What are the amount of sunlight, the amount of water available, the availability of essential nutrients for the primary producers, are the temperature?
500
These are estimates of the surface area individual humans or populations require to obtain resources for satisfying all their needs and to ensure the disposal of their waste.
What is an ecological footprint?
500
The tendency among certain contaminants to accumulate over time in the tissues of living organisms
What is bimulation?oaccu
